Description
Press releases are issued by labs when a major result
such as a discovery is announced. More commonly, we write
papers that are not worthy of a press release. Nonetheless,
many in the public are quite interested to see progress in
our experiments. Tevatron experiments have pioneered plain
English summaries of experimental papers, and the concept is
spreading to the LHC experiments. It is difficult to write
a good plain English summary. We should develop this art-form
further.
